America
stands at a dramatic crossroads:

 Massive banks and corporations wield disturbing power.
 The huge
income gap between the 1% and the other 99% grows visibly wider.
 Astounding new technologies are changing American
lives.
 Conflicts over U.S. military interventionism, the environment, and immigration dominate public debate.

Sound familiar? You might be surprised to know that these headlines were ripped, not from today’s
newspaper, but from newspapers over 100 years ago. These and other issues that characterize the early 21st century were
also the hallmarks of the transformative periods known as the Gilded Age (1865-1900) and the Progressive Era
(1900-1920).

Welcome to one of the most colorful, tumultuous, raucous, and profoundly pivotal epochs in
American history. Stretching from the end of the Civil War in 1865 to roughly 1920, this extraordinary time was not only
an era of vast and sweeping change—it saw the birth of the United States as we and the world at large now know
it.

Before the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, America was a developing nation, with a largely agrarian
economy; sharp divisions between North, South, and West; and virtually no role in global affairs. Yet by 1900, within an
astonishing 35 years, the U.S. had emerged as the world’s greatest industrial power.

During the Gilded
Age and Progressive Era, the U.S. went from “leading by example” and maintaining an isolationist foreign
policy to become a major participant in international events, showing itself as a nascent superpower in the
Spanish-American War and World War I.

Numerous other events came together during these same periods to create
the U.S. that we know now. In a time rife with staggering excess, social unrest, and strident calls for reform, these
remarkable events characterized the Gilded Age and Progressive Era:

 Industrialization directly gave rise to
a huge American middle class.
 New and voluminous waves of immigration added new material to the “melting
pot” of U.S. society.
 A mainly agrarian population became an urban one, witnessing the rise of huge
cities.
 The phenomenon of big business led to the formation of labor unions and the adoption of consumer
protections.
 Electricity, cars, and other technologies forever changed the landscape of American life.

To delve into the catalytic events of these times is to see, with crystal clarity, how the U.S. went from what we now
might consider Third World status in the mid-19th century to become the major power it is today. Knowledge of these
pivotal eras also provides insightful perspectives on conflicts that dominate our contemporary headlines—from
fears surrounding immigration and income inequality to concern for the fate of the environment—and how they were
meaningfully addressed in past times.

Now, in the 24 lectures of America in the Gilded Age and Progressive
Era, Professor Edward T. O’Donnell of the College of the Holy Cross leads you in a sprawling, multifaceted
journey through this uproarious epoch. In taking the measure of six dramatically innovative decades, you’ll
investigate the economic, political, and social upheavals that marked these years, as well as the details of daily life
and the critical cultural thinking of the times. In the process, you’ll meet robber barons, industrialists,
socialites, crusading reformers, inventors, conservationists, women’s suffragists, civil rights activists, and
passionate progressives, who together forged a new United States. These engrossing lectures provide a stunning and
illuminating portrait of a nation-changing era.

A Republic Transforms

In Professor
O’Donnell’s description, “The Gilded Age’s amazing innovation
and wealth created the conditions—and mobilized the masses—for the Progressive Era’s social
reforms.” Across the span of the lectures, you’ll witness this historical progression through subject
matter such as:

 The Industrial Age and the Rise of Big Business: Follow America’s epic industrial
ascent in the 19th century, the emergence of vast corporations and trusts, the making of industrial magnates such as
John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, and the transformation of the nation into a consumer society.

Revolutionary Technologies and Social Culture: Grasp how steel, electrical power, mass transportation, and recorded
sound radically changed American life. Learn about the conspicuous excesses of the new super rich, the lifestyles of the
exploding middle class, and the phenomena of American music, spectator sports, and stage entertainment.
 The Dark
Side of Progress: Take account of the devastating social problems that followed advances in industry and technology:
extreme income inequality and poverty, graft and political corruption, severe exploitation of industrial workers,
rampant labor violence, and the ills of urban crime, squalor, and disease.
 The Crusade for Rights: Observe how the
clash of progress and poverty spurred far-reaching efforts to secure legal rights for the disenfranchised. Study
historic activism for workers’ rights, women’s rights, children’s rights, and the rights of
consumers, and uncover the early and often overlooked struggle for African–Americans’ civil rights.

The New American Woman: Track significant changes in the lives of American women, such as major increases in women in
the workforce, new public roles for women, the dynamic presence of women in reform initiatives, and the remarkable story
of the women’s suffrage movement.
 The Many Faces of Reform: Study the astonishing spectrum of reform
movements that defined the Progressive Era, encompassing:
 the dramatic unfolding of labor organizing,
labor/capital conflict, and reform;
 urban reforms, from regulation of deplorable tenements to sanitation and
social work;
 historic political reforms, from the ballot initiative to the civil service system;
 the
“busting” of powerful trusts and banking conglomerates; and
 the conservation of wilderness and the
world’s first national parks.

A Fascinating Window on Momentous Times

In his teaching,
Professor O’Donnell demonstrates an extraordinarily comprehensive and penetrating knowledge of the eras in
question, together with a flair for bringing the human realities of the times alive through powerful storytelling. Among
numerous impactful episodes, you’ll witness the monumental moment in 1880 when electric arc lighting first lit
American streets, causing men to fall on their knees before what seemed to be “lightning brought down from the
heavens.” You’ll relive the events of the heartrending Bread and Roses strike of 1912, the wealth-flaunting
gaudiness of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s ball of 1883 (which cost six million dollars in today’s currency), and the
storm of suffragist picketers who besieged the White House in 1917.

And you’ll encounter great
personalities, whose vision and dynamism symbolized and transformed the temper of their times. In addition to luminaries
such as Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, you’ll meet the likes of saloon-busting reformer Carrie Nation,
African-American rights activist Ida B. Wells, muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens, suffragist leader Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, environmentalist John Muir, and Theodore Roosevelt, whose accomplishments in conservation and economic
regulation made him one of the greatest reformers of the times.

In America in the Gilded Age and Progressive
Era, you’ll contemplate profound shifts in American society that marked what is arguably the most significant
period of change in our history. These compelling lectures vividly reveal the thinking, the struggles, the conquests,
and the triumphs that made the United States the global force it is today.
